Exclusive: Arsenal Close to Sealing £24m Massive Coup Deal to Sign Barcelona Attacker Pedro
Emirates Stadium side look likely to snap up unhappy Nou Camp star.
Arsenal are in late stage talks with Barcelona as Arsene Wenger seeks to secure a deal to sign Spanish international attacker Pedro.
CaughtOffside understands that Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has been seeking to lure 26 year old Nou Camp star Pedro to the Emirates Stadium for some weeks and it appears that the North London club are closing in a deal to capture the adaptable attacker.
Pedro has struggled to retain a foothold in Barcelona’s starting eleven under new boss Gerardo Martino and is said to be unhappy with his limited role in first team matters and Wenger’s persistence may well have led to the Tenerife born forward feeling a move to Arsenal would be beneficial to his career.
Martino has handed Pedro just ten La Liga starts this term and arguably even that total has been assisted by the injury suffered by Lionel Messi and Barcelona appear ready to consider offers for the long term servant of the Catalan club.
Wenger is willing to offer €30m (£24m) for Pedro, a fee that Barcelona appear ready to consider.
